STEVEN TYLER - ELVIS TRIBUTE

What an amazing week it has been so far. I had a photo shoot with the amazing Steven Tyler for the Elvis tribute book that I am in the process of putting together. I had set up the shoot with Steven at the Staples Center before his show with Aerosmith. It was such a wild time photographing Steven and watching him embrace Elvis's glasses. Just before he walked on stage he held the glasses next to his chest and prayed. It was truly a sight to see.

We got to stay and watch the show from aside the stage and standing next to us was Johnny Depp. My wife Daniela was very excited about that. We are trying to get Johnny for the Elvis tribute book as well. Johnny did join Aerosmith on stage for two songs. It was an amazing night. Feeling very blessed.

Priscilla Presley Reunites With A First LoveWritten by Steve Geelow Photography Christopher AmeruosoIt’s often said, “You never forget your first love.” So when your first love happens to be Elvis Presley, those words could never have more resonance. Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s love story is well documented and while Elvis’ only bride has many fond recollections of ‘The King’, there’s one, to this day, she still holds very dear - the memory of the first car he ever gifted her.

Capturing The Queen Priscilla Presley With My Nikon
It is no secrete by this point that I'm probably the only photographer that has done more portrait shoots with the stunningly beautiful Priscilla Presley then any other.
While having this opportunity is very exciting it can also be nerve wracking. With each shoot that I do with Priscilla I need to try and change it up with setting and looks. Lighting with Priscilla sometimes gets a little tricky as she has very fair skin and with photographing people with fair skin you can get very washed out photos and not so flattering color tints and hues. Now the fact that Priscilla is just so beautiful you can never go wrong with any photo even if she was green. But I prefer to make sure I light as best as possible.
Lets talk about this image I shot for a lifestyle feature magazine with Priscilla.
My camera settings are as follows: Nikon D800 f-stop f/10 - Exposure 1.160 sec. - ISO 2000 focal length 100mm
The doorway I shot in had had lots o…
